(December 10, 2023, 6:15 pm)An excellent little museum that shows the history of steamboats on the Ohio River and the history of the first Swiss settlement in the United States. The lady at the front desk was amazingly helpful in helping me find the burial place of my family and extended family. The gift shop is amazingly inexpensive. And the people in general are fantastic.

Learned about the "Hay King" of Switzerland County and his network of 200 hay barns. Also saw a working model of his patented hay press, which looked like a precursor of today's hay balers. Definitely worth a longer visit.
